bloodyengel Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 I wrote this to mock inspiration, and then the thing in italics I realized didn't fit into the satire I was going for. But... a friend said it was Tyler Durden-esque...so that's okay with me! Inspiring It's inspiring when you rise out of your class We look on mystified and wonder how We are inspired By the prostitutes who become mothers And the filthy street children who go to college By the politicians who make it possible For the weak to become the strong We are inspired By the myth We have struggled for millenia To become equals in the eyes of God (After all the struggle, and the anger I've been inspired by the genocide, the murder and the rape The torture and the darkness The spiritually decrepit) What is inspiring? It is another buzz word for something unattainable. Another buzz word to keep you in your class. Another buzz word to keep you looking out. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrailBlazer Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 Interesting spin; cynical. You reminded me of a line in a Derek Webb song (yes, he's a xian, but he's jaded and sarcastic enough to still be cool) "i'll do whatever it takes to squeeze us into this wedding gown i'll say the words that rattle your nerves words like sin and faith alone" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
